If winter is going to blow, can we lock in another Morch?

It’s a December tradition. Like getting a Christmas tree, or watching the Bears wind down another shithole of a season.

You can head on over to the coronavirus thread to figure out everyone's political leanings... /s

This looks like a vintage beer commercial.

Baby stepping towards the inevitable strung out garbage

I’m shocked. It’s so rare for something to go to strung out garbage

Last year we even got the rug yanked in the extreme short range. Fun times. I will take long range vanishing snowstorms over storms going strung out garbage 18 hours before onset.

Should rip nicely for a bit overnight.

For sure. The covid thread is a ****ing train wreck. It held on for so long as polite discourse, but the light-handed moderation let it fest into a cancer. We need a storm to track.

I was under the impression that everyone who would consider themselves a weather enthusiast would have at least a basic grasp of science. It appears I was wrong.

10:1 map... @Chicago Storm is going to have to go on his rant again.

But.. But... My Freedomz...

To return to the drug use discussion, as someone who supervises defendants for the courts; I can say unequivocally that drug use has increased. This is not as a "direct" result of COVID per se, but a tertiary effect resulting from probation, parole, and court systems modify their meeting and drug testing procedures. With many court hearings being done virtually, it makes it much easier for usage to go unnoticed. However, to a certain degree, those taking advantage of the current situation and using would have likely taken any opportunity to use. Drug use is a different pandemic upon itself. Lets not try to compare covid deaths to drug use increases/suicide deaths as if there are equivocal. The are not even close.

Sounds like pritzker is making an announcement on statewide restrictions today

Illinois with 12,601 new cases and 97 deaths.

That has to be foam insulation board, or incredibly high winds as that is not falling like a sheet of plywood

Some of angry’s nonsense and my increasingly hostile replies have been removed.

I would agree. Depends on the sample size as well, but those are encouraging numbers.

"I'm not an anti vaxer but"... The classic anti-vax statement. The money, time, effort, etc being poured into the vaccine research is astronomical. I don't think it is unreasonable to think a vaccine can be developed much quicker than they have been in the past when substantially more resources are being thrown at it. Granted I want to see the studies. I want to see the data empirically peer reviewed to ensure it is legitimate and we don't have any Andrew Wakefield shenanigans. But no one has produced anything as of yet that represents any sort of evidence of data manipulation. This argument is along the same lines as the equally ridiculous "we don't cure cancer because there is more profit in treating it".

It is mind numbing to me how many people are on this, a ****ing science based board, and refuse to believe or accept science because it somehow runs against their "beliefs" or "freedoms". We look at mathematical simulations of potential atmospheric conditions, the absolute pinnacle of our current understanding of atmospheric physics, daily. Yet we have people like angrysummons who thinks that a RNA/DNA based vaccine is somehow going to modify the genetic programming of the recipient... Healthy discourse is one thing. Present your facts and we can have a conversation. There is no place for half baked, ignorant, or flatly stupid conspiracy theories on a science board. The individual liberties "anti-masker" argument is garbage as well. I have the right to carry a firearm, but I am required to use it in a safe manner and will be held accountable should I fail in that purpose. You have the right to move freely as you wish, but it you are too ****ing lazy, ignorant, or "woke" to wear a mask and you cause harm to others, you too should be held accountable.

Yep, and the flu vaccine is doing well if it has 50-60% effectiveness. If these COVID vacinnes cruise at 80-90%+, that will be incredible (at least for this strain). I can certainly see a situation where we get our COVID vaccine alongside our flu vaccine ever year.

We aren’t modifying any DNA/RNA sequence in an individual... You are essentially injecting the DNA marker of the targeted antigen in order to kickstart the immune response. Just like every other ****ing vaccine since the beginning, when people were rubbing cowpox scabs into cuts to avoid smallpox. Be it a live or inactivated virus, dna or protein markers, the idea is the same. Give the immune system a template for what it is looking for so it can mount an aggressive response to an actual infection. This is not a ****ing zombie vaccine. Your cells aren’t being hijacked. There are no lizard people. This is not a conspiracy. Let’s stay off YouTube for awhile...

I have no obligation to research your dumbass claim. All your talk about “natural” vaccines reminded me to cover my vaccine tree tonight so that the frost doesn’t damage those tender natural vaccine flowers
